Overview:

The Bilstein B8 5160 front 4-inch lift remote reservoir shock absorbers are engineered specifically for lifted Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks, providing a direct fit upgrade that enhances off-road capability and ride quality. Designed for serious enthusiasts and professionals who demand superior suspension performance, these shocks improve wheel travel and heat dissipation compared to traditional shocks. Whether tackling rugged trails or heavy-duty hauling, the B8 5160 shocks deliver consistent, fade-free damping for a smoother, more controlled ride.

Built to withstand the toughest conditions, these shocks are ideal for lifted trucks requiring enhanced suspension travel and durability. The remote reservoir design increases fluid capacity and cooling efficiency, helping maintain optimal performance during extended off-road use or heavy load scenarios.

Key Features:

Bilstein’s B8 5160 shocks incorporate advanced technology and robust construction to maximize performance and reliability:

• 46mm monotube design for consistent, fade-free damping under extreme conditions
• Remote reservoir increases fluid volume and cooling capacity to reduce shock fade
• Velocity-sensitive digressive valving tuned specifically for Ram 2500 and 3500 applications
• 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting for clean, low-profile installation and improved hose routing
• Direct bolt-on fitment for lifted Ram 2500 (2014–2024) and Ram 3500 (2013–2018) models
• Optimized for 4-inch front lift setups, enhancing wheel travel and suspension articulation
• Durable construction designed to withstand harsh off-road environments and heavy-duty use

Construction & Design:

The B8 5160 shocks feature a rugged monotube design constructed from high-strength materials to ensure long-lasting durability and superior heat dissipation. The monotube architecture allows for a larger piston and more consistent damping performance, even under extreme conditions. The remote reservoir is connected via a flexible hose with a 360-degree swivel banjo fitting, allowing for versatile mounting options and reducing the risk of hose damage during suspension travel.

Bilstein’s precision engineering includes velocity-sensitive digressive valving that adapts to different driving conditions, providing firm control during aggressive off-road maneuvers while maintaining comfort on the highway. The shocks are finished with corrosion-resistant coatings to protect against the elements and extend service life.

Installation & Fitment:

These shocks are designed as a direct replacement for the front suspension of lifted Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with a 4-inch lift, requiring no additional modifications for proper fitment. Installation is straightforward for experienced mechanics or off-road enthusiasts familiar with suspension upgrades. The included swivel banjo hose fitting simplifies routing and mounting of the remote reservoir, ensuring a clean and secure setup.
